1. Not enough people/knowledge/time to learn/do local EMC configuration. 2. Adabas really was on mod-2 when we migrated to raid EMC damn near 2 decades ago, hasn't needed a reorg yet. Or time for such an outage. 3. Can't afford PAV :( Still, I have enough "mod-9" to do what I need. 2 sets alternating sysres (4), 2 SMP/E target volumes (1.7 and 1.9) cause migration in progress. 1 each SMPNTS and a SMPWKDIR one to back-up target HFS when cloning. And a couple spares. 12 total. And yah, I also keep harping on the folks around here that still think small, both DASD and memory :) > CC > -- > This email might be from the > artist formerly known as CC > (or not) You be the judge. > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, > send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO > Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
